Now entering its tenth year, York Disability Week hosts 30+ in-person & online mostly free events, encompassing sport, talks, music, dance, workshops, art, poetry performances, a music concert, and more.
Fancy trying out mixed wheelchair rugby, inclusive football, table tennis, boxing, or cycling with adapted cycles? How about dancing, singing or Pilates, or the ‘Not a Book Club’ group, for anyone who loves books but is no longer able to read for themselves? Maybe an arts and craft session, printmaking workshop, or the chance to make a beautiful wooden festive decoration?
For those wanting to connect over shared experiences, there’ll be an event specifically for students, a panel discussion about living with invisible disabilities, and a peer support group. Author Pippa Stacey will also be returning with tips on finding fulfilment while living with fatigue. Adults with learning disabilities will come together to discuss what they want from a National Care Service, and there’ll even be a virtual pub quiz!
Whether you’re disabled yourself, are a family member, PA, carer, part of a business keen on becoming more accessible, or are simply interested in learning more and meeting new people, York Disability Week is for you!
York Disability Week 2026 runs from 28 November to 5 December. Email disability@yorkhumanrights.org, call 01904 702060, or visit www.yorkdisabilityweek.org for full electronic and printed programmes.
